Only after judge signs warrant. That, ignoring that warrant signing might be rubber stamp in some courts cause that is a different issue, is an ok compromise between privacy and enforcing laws.

> Selfie Deaths Are an Epidemic > 259 people died between 2011 and 2017 43 deaths per year is ABSOLUTELY NOT an epidemic. Sorry to be harsh, but it is a (minor) rounding error in accidental death statistics. I wouldn't even consi

Nope. Not even maybe. The public domain is utterly free. As in free to do anything with. One reason Copyleft and Creative Commons licenses exist. And they require copyright. Because no one can control what is done with public domain. In th

Summer child, the web is to extract money from consumers for benefit of property owners. If it was about sharing copyright law would not apply.

It's not implied, it's explicit in Python. you have to put it right there in the method signature! And it's obvious when python passes it in cause you used dot syntax! Other languages have implied "this" or "se

Whitespace is not any more significant in Python than most languages. Indentation is significant. Just replace '(' with space/tab and ')' with "deindent". Done.

The parent post did not say JVM, they said Java paradigms. Vastly different things. Writing Javaonic Clojure vs Clojuronic Clojure. So, trying to replicate the style/structure/paradigms of Java rather than learning and using the C

What does fake even mean? The AI exists. What’s the difference between a human doing disinformation and an AI doing it? You should already be skeptical of every comment. Looking for what it’s agenda is. The cheapness and thus commality of A

How long? Several years ago. Videos have been faked forever. There’s been all sorts of optical illusions, forced perspective, and special effects for 100 years. You shouldn’t trust any single source. Only a preponderance. Even then be open

That, there are things that are great for everything, is a false belief. Everything is compromise. If something is good for everything, it is optimized for nothing. Power users don't want good. The need 100% optimized for purpose, the
